However, the nightlies since 4th July do not show HDMI as an available Audio Output Device - so only Bluetooth is available.
It looks to my untrained eye that the 4.7 rc6 Kernel doesn't include the CherryTrail fix for audio.
Any chance of a fix going forward?
Also (being cheeky now) any chance of getting WiFi working with the CherryTrail SoC?
Yes you're right, and I should have mentioned the Cherrytrail patch has been dropped as it's not currently compatible with the 4.7 kernel. See PR:481 for details (and reply from piotrasd), as it may return if/when a compatible patch becomes available for the 4.7 kernel.
As for WiFi, if you know of a patch for this chipset and the 4.7 kernel then it could be included. However in the absence of any such patch you may want to treat yourself to a cheap Broadcom/Intel/Ralink USB WiFi dongle...
